This is a shot in the dark, but not so farfetched when you consider that the CD burner
is a drive with removeable media.
(1) Start your machine normally, and put up with the flashlight for the time being.
(2) When it settles down, put a previously burned CD in the drive.
(3) Access the contents of the disc thru WExplorer. Doesn't really matter what
you do, just click on some files and folders.
(4) Next, click on the C: drive in WExplorer like you normally would.
(5) Close WExplorer, and restart.
(6) My idea was that WExplorer could be starting up with the new CD burner drive
letter as its default, thus causing you the problem of WExplorer looking for something
(files on a CD) that isn't there. This happens with floppy disks occasionally.
